Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
La alpargata en el espacio público: Los efectos de la política lencinista en el espacio público mendocino (1918-1928)
Full text linkEn esta tesis doctoral se analizan las vinculaciones entre los procesos socio-políticos y los espaciales a partir de las políticas propuestas e implementadas por los dirigentes lencinistas en relación con la infraestructura sanitaria, la situación habitacional y la infraestructura vial. La presente investigación da cuenta de una problematización del espacio público, considerado como el producto de una articulación entre forma y política. En este sentido, durante el periodo se planteó la necesidad de complejizar la estructura y organización de este ámbito a los fines de ofrecer servicios y acceso a recursos que anteriormente se concentraban en ciertos ámbitos y sectores sociales. Esto permitió profundizar la mirada sobre las vinculaciones entre técnica y política, las cuales atravesaron esa referida reformulación. Los profesionales comenzaron a tener un espacio específico de desarrollo en la administración pública, con una creciente valorización de su labor. Asimismo, desde el Estado se reglamentó el ejercicio profesional (actividades curativas, 1927; arquitectura, ingeniería y agrimensura, 1922) y se obligó contratar profesionales para la ejecución de obras públicas.Se utilizaron diversas fuentes primarias: documentos oficiales (escritos legislativos, memorias de gobierno), prensa y datos estadísticos que fueron consideradas entrecruzando las perspectivas de la Historia Política y de la Historia Urbana.Fil: Luis, Natalia Mabel.

Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
José Luis Romero y la "ciudad Latinoamericana"
Full text linkDentro del ciclo de la "ciudad latinoamericana", entendida como categoría de pensamiento que emergió y se sostuvo entre fines de 1940 y mediados de 1970, en el marco de la explosión urbana, ante la necesidad de definir una cualidad continental para la ciudad, Latinoamérica, las ciudades y las ideas (1976), de José Luis Romero, constituye una pieza clave.El autor estudia a partir de la ciudad, la historia política, económica y social de Latinoamérica. Para él, las categorías ciudad-campo, signan la historia latinoamericana, y, a partir de ellas, analiza la relación entre las ideas y la realidad concreta. En el capítulo "Las ciudades burguesas", muestra cómo durante el periodo 1880-1930, la vida urbana fue un reflejo de la adecuación o no a la nueva economía mundial. Aclaración: el artículo fue enviado en 2014, y aceptado y publicado en 2015, pero en la Revista aparece en el número 149, julio-diciembre de 2013.Within the cycle of the "Latin American city", understood as a category of thought that emerged and was held between the end of 1940 and mid 1970's, in the framework of the urban explosion, to the need to define a continental quality for the city Latin America, the cities and ideas (1976), José Luis Romero, is a key part. The author studies from the city, the political, economic and social history of Latin America. For it, the categories ciudad-campo, mark Latin American history, and, from them, analyzes the relationship between ideas and the concrete reality. In the chapter "The bourgeois cities", shows how the period 1880-1930, urban life was a reflection of the appropriateness or not to the new global economy.Fil: Luis, Natalia Mabel.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
